Terrorists Among Us

Imagine a day when you are eating at Chili’s and sitting in the booth next you is a former Guantanamo prisoner held captive as an “enemy combatant”. Well my friends, that day is around the corner sooner than later. Attorney General Eric Holder said Wednesday that some of the 240 detainees will be sent to Europe or other countries while freeing others. Each prisoner’s case will be reviewed on an individual basis and determined if the prisoners need to be put on trial or whether they can be released.

There are a few options for prisoners in the second category, who can be released. Among them is the possibility they can be released in the U.S., for example: 17 Chinese Muslims who the U.S says that they can not be returned to China because they would face persecution. That’s not my problem. They should have thought of it before doing what they did. Holder met with European Union leaders and urged them to take some of the detainees, but they questioned the request because the U.S was not taking any of the prisoners so why should they.

I think this is a big national security issue considering that these individuals are at Guantanamo for a reason. The same people who hate America will be released within her. These are people who their own country doesn’t even want them. Doesn’t that mean something ??
